A midsummer's night frog

Sunday, 23 June 2013

For todays Nail Art Sunday at Lelack the theme was very cleverly frogs, a reference to Midsummer but without it being too open ended. I laughed out loud when I read what theme it was. Since I just received an order from Cherry Culture containing a few Milani 3D Holographic polishes, including the blue Cyberspace and the green Hi-Tech, I knew I wanted to create a summery gradient where blue skies meet green grassy fields. The frog ended up being an accent but it's still there :)

I really liked how this gradient turned out but rather than patting myself on the back too much I think it is safe to say that these shattered holographic polishes are perfect to work with. Real forgiving.

The frog is made with Sally Hansen Green On, I painted the head/body part with the bottle brush and the eyes using a dotting tool, also using Sally Hansen White On and CND Blackjack.
